Women in God’s Army
The early Salvation Army professed its commitment to sexual equality in ministry and leadership. In fact, its founding constitution proclaimed women had the right to preach and hold any office in the organization. But did they? Women in God’s Army is the first study of its kind devoted to the critical analysis of this central claim. It traces the extent to which this egalitarian ideal was realized in the private and public lives of first- and second-generation female Salvationists in Britain and argues that the Salvation Army was found wanting in its overall commitment to women’s equality with men. Bold pronouncements were not matched by actual practice in the home or in public ministry....
Cultural Seeds
Nick Cave is now widely recognized as a songwriter, musician, novelist, screenwriter, curator, critic, actor and performer. From the band, The Boys Next Door (1976-1980), to the spoken-word recording, The Secret Life of the Love Song (1998), to the recently acclaimed screenplay of The Proposition (2005) and the Grinderman project (2008), Cave's career spans thirty years and has produced a comprehensive (and sometimes controversial) body of work that has shaped contemporary alternative culture. Despite intense media interest in Cave, there have been remarkably few comprehensive appraisals of his work, its significance and its impact on understandings of popular culture. In addressing this absence, the present volume is both timely and necessary.

Morissey - Scandal & Passion
Britain's most articulate singer–songwriter remains a complex individual whose lyrics are concerned with realism, opinion, waspish wit, irony, asexuality, melancholy and love. In this candid biography, Morrissey's friends and members of his entourage speak frankly to David Bret to reveal a fascinating portrait of the iconic star. Bret's fully up-to-date biography is packed with revelations; accusations of racism and fascism; confessions of physical abuse; High Court royalty battles and the public shaming; the attack on Cliff Richard; renegade fans' attempts to sabotage his career. Placed upon a pedestal and worshipped; alternately derided and attacked by detractors, Morrissey is perhaps the only English entertainer to have successfully created hisown culture, a personal world filled with foibles, likes and dislikes, and above all unsuppressable opinion; a world which David Bret describes with vivid candour that provides a comprehensive insight into the singer-songwriter's life and music as well as an ideal introduction for new fans of his work. The book includes a full discography, numerous original photos and a comprehensive bibliography.
"In Jesus' Name"
“In Jesus’ Name” tells the story of the third stream of Pentecostalism, which emerged during the formative years of the Pentecostal Revival. This is the first comprehensive study of the origins, history and theology of Oneness Pentecostalism, the heterodox movement expelled from the Assemblies of God in 1916 for its rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity and insistence on water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Reed traces the movement, now estimated at 14 million world wide, to its Pietist and Evangelical roots. Its distinctive doctrine is a radical trajectory of a christocentric reaction that had already begun in early Pentecostalism. Reed’s study shows the inadequacy of the label of heresy in light of its thoroughgoing Pentecostal identity and theology of the Name of God. This title was granted the PNEUMA award for 2009.
